Jimmy McMenamin's Bio

Originally from Haddonfield, NJ. I relocated to SLC in Feb of 2012. I love to snowboard, skateboard, and surf along with golfing, tennis, ice hockey, running, and snowshoeing. I love the outdoors and spending time in mountains and love pow! If you are a Philadelphia sports fan of any kind, lets get up!

Gore, its going to keep you dry. If you call in and say. Hey my gear is leaking. You're probably doing it wrong. Gore-tex will fix your gear so don't worry. I've never had a problem with piece of gore-tex everrrrrrrrr. Unless you rip it on a tree or something this is going to be just fine.

So one difference between the bibs from last season and this year is that the bib has gotten rid of the TDS (Thermal Defense System) If there was any complaint i had with the bib from before was that on mild days i couldn't wear them bc it was just too warm. Not a problem now! The extra thermal was removed so you can layer to your comfort level. I was really stoked to see this change and i'm sure i wasn't alone. Don't get me wrong warm gear is great and i like things that are great but.......sometimes you need a little venting too. I hope you've enjoyed my review and this helps in making the right decision for you.

The best feature on any piece of Volcom outerwear. This zips into any Volcom jacket or any other jacket that has a zipper. Use it, you won't be disappointed. Plus it keeps the heat trapped in if you get cold easy.

So you're looking for a bib and don't know which one to pick. Well look no further because this is the bib for you. The Rain Gore-tex bib is a awesome 2 layer gore-tex bib that is going to keep you dry and comfy all day long. This has a slimmer cut than previous bib from volcom. front pockets on the chest 2 on the side and 2 on the back. ZIP-tech, which in my opinion is one of the most unde rated features from Volcom. I always make sure i'm zipped in to not allow snow down the back.

The VZ fishbowl is an excellent option in the bigger goggle market. A little bit more flexible a frame than say the EG2 from electric but still plenty of comfort and great vision. Plenty of peripheral vision out of this goggle and would recommend it.

This stores away a little better than the explorer, i really like how you can close the top and put the legs back in so nothing lets lost. As i 've stated before, the BTU output is plenty unless it's blowing 40 mph and even then with the wind screen you could probably still cook.

THis is a perfect shower that is incredibly east to bring along with any camping trip. Water was plenty warm and the pressure was great. Would reccommened this to anyone who is looking for a camp shower. Just pump it up and let'r go! Got all showered up with that view. How can you beat that? Roll Tide!

THis compared to the other camp chef who have a greater BTU output, this compares quite nicely. ALthough it doesn't have the same output it still provides plenty for whatever you're trying to cook. The windscreen is a little bit better on this compared to the open burnerers and is a little bit smaller. PLus the top can be used as a mini table if need be when closed, which also allows for a little bit better packing and transporting in my opinion. Great value and well worth the cost. Legs screw off and fit inside the burner when done so you won't lose anything.

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

The Sherpa table is a great camping investment especially if you have a nice crew or a family. Used this for a camping weekend and was able to store food for 10 people throughout a car camping weekend. The table part on top breaks down and folds into the zipper along with the legs that snap out from the telescoping insert.

Would recommend this for anyone who is car camping or wants to use it for any kid of outside event. The 4 compartments are lightweight and insulated so they can be used to store cold food for sure or drinks. The entire table is lightweight has handles on either side so it's easy to carry.The inside zippers that separate the compartments zip away so you can wedge a few other items like frying pans or pots in there. Well worth the cost.

here's the Alps double bag that will zip into 2 separate bags. If anyone has questions about this here is the pic to prove it. This is a great roomy bag for car camping. If you have kids and want a bag that they can both use or just go on a trip with someone who doesn't have a sleeping bag or whatever. It will zip out and the bottom and tops become their own bags. This has been a great bag for me and i have zero complaints. The weight as you can see suggests this is only for car camping. Kinda heavy in that respect but the compression sack makes it very mobile and easy to pack. Rated down to 20 degrees and will for sure keep you warm.
